Looks like it’s not only Apple that’s going to launch a white smartphone this weekend, as something white and big is also coming from the direction of South Korea. It’s white, and it’s big. That’s the new LG Optimus Big. LG’s latest Android smartphone is called the Big as the 4.3-inch screen cannot be mistaken.

The specs of this B.I.G. should not be taken lightly too, as LG has thrown in a 1GHz dual-core processor, a slightly skinned Android 2.2 as its OS, HDMI output, a 5 megapixel camera, and 16GB of built-in storage.

You might think that this is just a white Optimus 2X, but the Big’s getting features that the latter doesn’t have. That’s the NOVA display, which can crank all the way up to 700 nits of brightness, and WiFi Direct, which allows for wireless inter-device communication without the need for an intermediary WiFi access point.

Coming April 28th, which means that you don’t have to wait until summer or fall for a dual-core smartphone.
